Bug Description

This past week a regression was introduced. When swiping up from the bottom, any swipe past the limits of the bottom toolbar panel shows the hud. The user then needs to touch the screen to dismiss the HUD before using the toolbar actions. Its almost impossible to not show the HUD.

The HUD is also revealed for any swipe that starts in the lower panel area, so it also appears while scrolling long lists as in contacts or photos or messages.

The HUD icon is not shown from the UITK, it is handle outside of the UITK (although the HUD can control toolbar visibility in apps using dbus). Assigning it to Antti to investigate, but please ping me if you need something from UITK-side.

I too see this. I've been trying to train myself to not swipe so high from the bottom to get the bottom panel, or to grab too low when scrolling a long list (like contacts). I haven't had tremendous success and see this quite frequently.

[ Michael Terry ]
* Allow testers to set custom password or pin in demo mode, rather
than hardcoding them.
* Have the greeter use AccountsService to determine its background.
(LP: #1218402)
* Listen to changes in the "show edge demo" AccountsService setting.

[ Daniel d'Andrada ]
* Update fake/mock plugins so that "./run --fake" works well again -
You can now see the thumbnails of the fake running applications once
again. - You no longer get hundreds of warnings due to icons not
found.
* Reset apps scope when returning from app to dash (LP #1193419) If an
app is on foreground and you perform a long left-edge swipe to
minimize it, and therefore return to the dash, the dash should be in
the Applications scope and showing the running/recents applications.
